INTRODUCTION. 


The late Benson J. Lossing, the distinguished American 
historian, whose valuable library, consisting of rare books and 
autographs, has been sold in the Anderson Galleries, was an 
accomplished artist as well as a scholarly writer. It was his 
custom to visit the scenes of important historical events and 
make careful drawings, which were used to illustrate his his- 
tories. This sale includes more than a thousand of these 
drawings, historically accurate and well executed, and admi- 
rably adapted for the extra-illustration of Mr. Lossing’s works 
and American histories generally. More than 100 drawings 
illustrate the Field Book of the Revolution, nearly 200 illus- 
trate the Field Book of the War of 1812, 164 relate to the Civil 
War, 165 are the originals used to illustrate Mr. Lossing’s 
admirable work on the Hudson River, and there are hundreds 
of miscellaneous portraits and views. No other collection of 
this character exists. Mr. Lossing wrote on the Revolution 
at a time when soldiers in that struggle were living, and could 
act as his guides on battlefields and give their personal recol- 
lections of great events, and his accuracy as a writer and an 
artist has never been questioned. 

In addition to the drawings about 20,000 pages of Mr. 
Lossing’s Original Manuscripts are also offered. Among these 
are his Field Book of the Revolution, Cyclopedia of United 
States History, History of New York City, Our Country, Mary 
and Martha Washington, History of the State of New York, 
Eminent Americans, and the American Centenary. These 
works, which have long been standard, will continue to have a 
permanent place in American historical literature, and the 
original manuscripts are worthy of the most careful preser- 
vation in public or private libraries. 


Among the material consigned by various owners are two 
original sepia drawines by F. O. C. Darley, highly finished 
and beautiful pictures illustrating Indian life on the plains; 
a book from Washington’s library; very important historical 


letters by Silas Deane regarding a canal in the north; interest- 
ing Lincoln material, including several autographs; valuable 
bibliographies; a collected set of the writings of Captain 
Mahan in beautiful bindings; the act to incorporate the City 
of Brooklyn, 1825; two Saur imprints; a complete set of the 
Thomas Bray Publications; rare books on the Indians, in- 
cluding Schooleraft’s monumental work and. two copies of 
McKenney and Hall’s Indian Tribes with the colored plates; 
the original Petition of American loyalists to George III; 
searce local histories, and a large number of books on the 
history of the Far West and the States of the Pacific Coast, 
including among the many California items Anderson’s Hand- 
book and Map of the Gold Regions. 


Among the excessively rare items of Americana which are 
of the highest interest to all collectors are the following: 


The First Edition of Horsmanden’s Negro Plot, New York: 
1744; the first American Law Book—Abstract of the Lawes of 
New England, London: 1641; William Smith’s ‘‘Brief View’’ 
and other books and pamphlets relating to Pennsylvania and 
Ohio at the beginning of the old French War; five pamphlets 
and leaflets regarding the organization and proceedings of the 
Ohio Company which are practically unknown to bibliog- 
raphers; an edition of the New England Primer (Phila- 
delphia: 1778) which is also unrecorded; Van Der Donck’s 
Vertoogh Van Nieu-Neder-Land, 1650, a large and fine copy, 
and the OricgtinaL AutoeraPH Map of the Braddock Expedi- 
tion, drawn by Christopher Gist and signed by him, THE ONLY 
KNOWN CONTEMPORARY MAP, and an historical document of 
very great importance.

BRADDOCK’S EXPEDITION. 
Onginal Autograph Map by Christopher Gist. 


103. ‘THE ROUTE OF THE ARMY UNDER THE 
COMMAND OF GEN. BRADDOCK TO THE PLACE OF 
THEIR DEFEAT, LAID DOWN BY CHRISTOPHER 
Gist.” 


Manuscript Map in the Autograph of Christopher Gist, 
with this heading. Measures 1334 x11 inches; marked with 
compass points, scale of miles, a list of the camping points of 
the army between Fort Cumberland and Fort Duquesne 
| Pittsburg], with the number of miles traversed between each 
camp, and remarks by the compiler. The route of the army 
_ across the rivers, mountains, and creeks shown in a red dotted 
line, the camps by a cross. Gist’s scouting reconnaissance to 
Fort Duquesne is similarly marked. 


A map of extraordinary interest, being THE ONLY KNOWN 
CONTEMPORARY MAP OF THE ROUTE OF BRADDOCK’S EXPEDI- 
TION, BY ONE CONCERNED IN IT, and who was personally ac- 
quainted with the country traversed. So far as we are aware 
the only other known map drawn by Gist is in the British 
Museum, made for the Ohio Company and showing in a rough 
and much reduced scale the country lying between the Alle- 
ghany Mountains and the shores of Lake Erie. 

Modern accounts of Braddock’s Expedition and defeat are 
based mainly on the Journal written by Capt. Orme for the 
British Government, and with but few differences his narrative 
agrees with the details shown in Gist’s map. The divergences 
are no doubt due ito the fact that Orme, who was badly wounded 
in the battle, wrote from recollection some time after his return 
to Hngland. The history of the expedition can now be re- 
written in a more correct historical manner from this newly 
found map of Gist’s in connection with Orme’s narrative, and 
the map of the expedition constructed from Orme’s narrative 
and published by the Pennsylvania Historical Society will now 

¢ be subject to revision. 

The divergence of the two records begins at Halt No. 16, 
‘‘Tjick’?’? (or Salt Lick) Camp. Following Gist, the next two 
halts are the 17th, marked ‘‘Camp 3 miles from the Lick,’’ 
and the 18th, ‘‘Monacatootha Camp,’’ six miles farther, thus 
making a distance of nine miles between the two halts, No. 16 


Le 


and No. 18. Orme relates but one camp, ‘‘Monacatootha,’’ 
after ‘Salt Lick’’ and the distance six miles. 

According to the Pennsylvania Society’s Map, ‘‘Monaca- 
tootha Camp’’ was the extremity of the direct north advance, 
the army turning there towards the west. Gist makes this limit 
a camp two miles further north, the name of which is probably 
Brush Creek. ) 

The name of the 20th camp, never before given, (modern 
narratives give but nineteen), is marked by Gist ‘‘ Head Sugar 
Creek,’’ a distance of eight miles from the preceding camp. 

Gist confirms other accounts in marking the burial place of 
Gen. Braddock: ‘‘Camp 1 Mile west great Meadowes, hear 
ye Gen’! Buri’d.’’ 

Orme mentions in his Journal that a captain and about 
ninety volunteers left the army at Great Meadows, proceeding 
directly to the Monongahela, where they destroyed French 
boats and provisions, but fails to give the name. This omission 
is supplied by Gist, in marking the route of the party. 

‘*The red lines from No. 10 is Capt. Dobson’s Route to the 
mouth of the Red Stone Creek to Destroy the French Barks 
and Provisions and then joyn’d the Army at Gist’s house, No. 
ae 

In addition to the value of this newly found map by Gist 
as a record of the exact route of the expedition is its value in 
giving local names apparently well known to Gist and the 
pioneers of that region, but differing from those in Orme’s 
Journal. The following examples show the nomenclature as 
given by Gist and by Sargent in his narrative based on Orme’s 
Journal: 


GIST. SARGENT. | 
Camp 1 Grove Camp Spendelow 
Camp 2 Georges Creek Martin’s Plantation 
Camp 5 Laurel Run West side of the Little Cross- 
ing 


and there are other variations. 

Christopher Gist, the author of the map, is well known as 
one of the pioneers of the Ohio country and was employed by 
the Ohio Company in 1750 and 1751 in exploring the terri- 
tory. His Journals are the foundation for all historical ac- 
counts of the trip to the Ohio country. He was Washington’s 
guide on his famous mission to the French in 1753. “ With two 
of his sons, Nathaniel and Thomas, he accompanied General 
Braddock as scout and guide, and fought in the battle. After 
Braddock’s defeat he raised a company of scouts in Virginia 
and Maryland to prevent Indian forays on the border, being 
then called Captain Gist. He died in the summer of 1759. 

We can find no record of the sale of anything autographic 

by Christopher Gist. 

Dr. Thomas L. Emmett, whose unrivalled collection of Ameri- 
can autographic material is now in the New York Public Li- 
brary, could secure only a receipt signed ‘‘ Chris Gist.’’ This 
great pioneer, so little known and yet filling so important a part 
in the early history of Pennsylvania and Ohio, was the ances- 
tor of a long line of men who have filled many important posi- 
tions in the country’s history. 

Gist is deserving of great fame for having been the mentor 
and guide of Washington, who came under his tutelage when 
he was only 23. Gist had great influence over Washington and 
undoubtedly helped to shape the young patriot’s career. 

Washington Irving devotes a considerable part of volume 
one of his ‘‘ Life of George Washington’’ to Gist.

First EpITion in English. Clavigero was a native of Vera 
Cruz, a Jesuit, and a thorough Antiquarian, who spent 30 
years of active research into the archaeology and antiquities 
of Mexico. His book is a mine of precious historical docu- 
ments, and contains valuable lists of others in the Mendoza, 
Vatican, and Boturini collections. Alj] the other books that 
have been elaborated since on the same subject, instead of 
superseding Clavigero’s, have tended rather to enhance its 
importance. ~

All of the above documents are in the handwriting of Silas. 
Deane and together they form a very interesting chapter in 
American history. Deane did valuable work for his country 
during the Revolution, but he was charged by his enemies 
with extravagance while in France, and his later years were 
spent in England in poverty and unmerited disgrace. 

In the documents described above he attempts to show the 
importance of Lake Champlain, and advises the cutting of a 
canal, with the object of dividing the interests of the Northern 
States from those of the Southern so that ‘‘the Northern parts 
of New England & of New York will become averse to a 
rupture with Great Britain. Should the other States want 
war, by the canal their supplies could be cut off § their trade 
ruined.’’

1774. 

THE FirST EDITION, OF GREAT RARITY. Half-title, title, 2 
leaves and 15 pages. Evans and Wegelin do not mention the 
preliminary leaves. A careful search discloses only five other 
copies, none in the famous Harris collection of American 
poetry. 

Nathaniel Tucker, the author of this poem, was born in 
Bermuda, 1750. He was the son of Colonel Henry Tucker 
and Anne Butterfield of Virginia and Carolina fame. The 
author in his preface addressed to Henry Tucker (Governor 
of Bermuda) says, ‘‘I am in some measure indebted for its 
plan to Dr. Goldsmith’s Deserted Village .... As it is an 
American production I flatter myself with some expectation 
of partiality from the Western World.’’ The production itself 
falls little short of a parody on Goldsmith’s poem. It con- 
tains a prefatory sonnet, ‘‘To the author,’’ by S. Henley, 
Prof. in the College at Williamsburg.

charts. New edition with corrections. 6 vols. 8vo, newly 
bound. in half erushed brown morocco, gilt tops, uneut, by 
Riviere. Lond. 1801 


The most important work relating to the history and geog- 


raphy of the northwest coast of America. Vancouver sailed — 


along this coast and visited Nootka Sound and Port St. Fran- 
cisco, New Albion, Straits of De Fuca, entered the Columbia 
River, and made a complete survey of the shores of northwest 
America. 

Although Vancouver lost the opportunity of recording him- 
self as a discoverer of the Columbia River, the merit of which 
falls to the American, Capt. Grey, he was the first to inform 
the public of the peculiarities of some of the Indian tribes 
inhabiting the shores of the North Pacific.

‘alien and sedition laws passed under the administration of

ment of their Christian Purpose. Small 4to, full green crushed 
levant morocco, gilt, gilt inside border, gilt top. 

Lond.: Printed by I. Windet, 1609 
Fine copy of this extremely rare book. The first sermon 
preached before the company of adventurers to Virginia, and 
was probably delivered preparatory to the expedition which 
left England the latter part of May, 1609, under Sir Thomas 
Gates, Sir George Somers and Christopher Newport, with seven 
ships and five hundred men. With the Marshall armorial book- 
plate.

472. VIRGINIA. Manuscript volume of Verse and Prose, 
containing about 60 written pages. In a folio blank-book, 
bound in vellum. [Cirea 1650-60] 


The last poem is particularly interesting as it contains a 
reference to Bermuda’s winds, and apparently was written on 
a voyage to Virginia. It ends: 


‘* Beware § keepe the shoare, then since you may 
Go in by Land to yo’r Virginia.’’ 


This unpublished poem is a welcome addition to the scanty 
store of 17th century American verse.
